Airfoils database and filtering functions:
- More than 500 new airfoils, now more than 2,200
- Import of new airfoils library
- Airfoils import-export from-to .DAT, .COR or .PRO files
- Airfoils
import from raster file (*.bmp, *.tif, etc)
- Advanced search filtering based on library, name, thickness,
camber and other geometrical parameters.
- Automatic computing for geometrical parameters.
- A new grid for an easy input of airfoil coordinates
- Listing
of similar airfoils
- Graphical
comparing on more airfoils
Airfoils processing functions:
Polars generation and analysis:
- Pre-processed polars (by XFoil) for all the airfoils of the
database at 20 predefined Reynolds numbers (from 30,000 to 500,000).
More then 40,000 polars in the database, ready to use.
- Automatic polars preprocessing for new airfoils or new defined Re.
- Automatic saving of the polars in the database
- You can pre-process a big quantity of new polars by 'night-time'
processing
- Graphical polars analysis for a single airfoil Vs many Re
- Graphical polars analysis for a many airfoils Vs a single Re
- 5 different graphs for the polars
- Printing polars capabilities
- Polar computation for airfoils with turbolator, flapping
deflection etc.
- User defined polar analysis criteria
Ribs and template drawing:
The old 1.2 version could only print an airfoil with an upper a lower
skin material. Now you can:
- Draw three different kinds of leading edge (rectangular, tilted
square, rounded)
- Add rectangular spars according to different positioning way
(delta-box optimized, on the upper-lower point, on a defined point
of the chord).
- Draw the trailing edge
- Draw from 1 to 7 rounded lightenings.
- Draw the foam cutting template
- Define a predefined washout.
- Draw station, to improve the advancing parallelism of the hot
wire.
- Add and modify all these components in a ready to print rib or
template.
And...
- Now you can also generate all the ribs not only for a trapezoidal
wing, but also for an elliptical one.
- Ribs and templates can be viewed and printed towards the left or
right.
